    What is Helicobacter pylori? Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerophilic spirochoid bacterium, which is the only known bacteria that can survive for a long time in the gastric acid environment, only on the surface of the human gastric epithelium, and it is difficult for the human body to eliminate itself after colonization, often leading to long-term or lifelong infection. Human beings are the only source of Helicobacter pylori infection, and the current infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in China is 40%-90%, with an average of 59%, and is increasing year by year.

    Helicobacter pylori is transmitted through the digestive tract and is mainly transmitted through unclean diet, eating with a person infected with Helicobacter pylori, and kissing. However, Helicobacter pylori is less infectious, and its infectious conditions and living environment are very harsh, and only in the temperature of 37 38 and a slightly anaerobic environment can it survive and be infectious.

    If a parent is infected with H. pylori, their children are much more likely to be infected than other families, and there is a so-called family cluster of H. pylori infection. As mentioned above, children are infected with H. pylori carried by their parents, mainly because of meals and kisses. Avoiding kissing children is certainly easy to do, and in addition, dividing meals and disinfecting dishes after meals can reduce H. pylori infections among family members.

    It should also be noted that it is best for patients and their children to replace their toothbrushes in time, pasteurize the patient's toiletries, and use mouthwash in the morning and evening. Mouthwash should have a bactericidal effect, that is, its formula is a chemical agent, such as the main ingredient is domifene and thymol. These behaviors, if possible, are best done by the patient's children, and of course, toiletries must be separated.

    Because Helicobacter pylori is present in human saliva, gastric juice reflux vomit, and dental plaque, washing your face in the same basin or sink also has a certain possibility of infection, so this should also be separated.

    What behaviors can infect children? Children are susceptible to Helicobacter pylori infection, and the initial age of Helicobacter pylori infection in the current population in China is getting younger and younger, among which family close contact is the main way of infection, especially the close contact between parents and children, such as someone in the family infected with Helicobacter pylori, and then kissing children or chewing food and feeding children or family members picking vegetables between each other, etc., are easy to lead to infection in children.

    As long as you don't share the dishes with your child, you won't be able to put food in a bowl, but if you do, you may be able to pass it on to your child.

    Possibly. Because Helicobacter pylori can be transmitted from person to person, the main transmission routes are oral transmission and fecal-oral transmission, so tableware and other products should be disinfected.
